Hello everyone,

Greetings from sunny, hot Riverside, California, where today the thermometer hit 105! We are looking forward to cooler weather by Monday. How thankful we are for air-conditioning in the house and minivan!

Here are our current prayer requests. We are thankful for the prayer and financial support on our behalf, and for people who write to us.

1) Alethia's surgery (a hysterectomy) is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, September 30th. Please pray for all to go well, and for a rapid and complete recovery. She should be in the hospital for three to four days. We are thankful for the surgeon, who was alert in reading the ultrasound and other studies to see the problem, and that the surgery can be done while we are still in the States.

2) After surgery, we'll begin to plan our return to Perú. Please pray for wisdom as we decide when to leave...definitely not for at least six weeks after surgery.

3) Pray for us to be able to get meetings scheduled in churches during this time that we are home. So far we have only one meeting on our calendar.

4) The months of October and November are always extremely busy in our Bible college in Trujillo, Perú. Pray for strength for students and staff alike as they wind down the school year during this season. Graduation will be the first week of December..the start of summer south of the equator.
